What is luck in your opinion a pure accident or it depends only on you?
The question of luck is quite a controversial one. I believe that we are the makers of our fates and we can make it both happy, active and thrilling or very unfortunate. But sometimes accidental meeting with unknown person on the street can turn up to be a perspective and successful marriage for you. By mistake we can daile the wrong number and get a well-paid job. Or we can fill up the form in the supermarket and win the holidays on an Island or a car.
I personally, remember my Physics exam at the 9th form at school. I didn't understand this subject at all and didn't have the faintest idea of how to pass it. The ticket consisted of 3 questions: the theoretical question, the experiment and a task. When I came at the exam I realised that I know nothing and, together with my friend I entered the class at the end of the day. I pulled the ticket number 21,sat on the first desk, found the trot in my pocket, rewrote the information, solved the task and to my surprise my experement was successfull. I got excellent mark. That was the very first real luck in my life. Since then I'm sure that if you believe in luck it will definitely comes to you.
